Audacity
Tired of trying to get the Pale Units to work? Fed up with pupils recording on the cassettes when they are only supposed to listen?
Audacity is a great software to avoid these kind of incidents.
Download it onto you computer, and start recording the Listening exercises. To convert them as MP3 files, you will have to get the lame file. Great for homework: instead of giving out tapes, you borrow their MP3 player or their IPod for 2 minutes, and they don't have the excuse of not having a tape player at home.
Pupils can also be recorded, and then their little speaking test uploaded onto a website, like here. It really motivates the kids to know they can show off their work to their parents, and maybe get an increase of pocket money!
